MAPPING PARAMETERS amp VARIABLESNaveen
16 Ap r 2 0 11
Mapping parameters and variables represent values in mappings and mapplets
When we use a mapping parameter or var iable in a m apping first we declare the
mapping parameter or variable for use in each mapplet or mapping Then we
define a value for the mapping parameter or variable before we run the sessio n
MAPPING PARAMETERS
A mapping param eter represen ts a constant value that we can define
before running a sessio n

A mapping param eter retains the same value throughout the entire
session
Example When we want to extract records of a particular month during ETL
process we will create a Mapping Parameter of data type and use it in query to
compare it with the timestamp field in SQL override
After we create a parameter it appea rs in the Express ion Edito r
We can then use the parameter in any expression in the mapplet or
mapping
We can also use parameters in a so urce qualifier filter user-defined join o r
extract override and in the Expression Editor of reusable transformations
MAPPING VARIABLES
Unlike mapping parameters mapping variables are values that can change
between sessions
The Integration Service saves the latest value of a mapping variable to the
repository at the end of each successful sessio n
We can override a saved value with the parameter file
We can also clear all saved values for the session in the Workflow
Manager
We might use a mapping variable to perform an incremental read of the source
For example we have a so urce table containing time stamped transactions and we
want to evaluate the transactions on a daily basis Instead of manually entering a
sessio n o verride to filter source data each time we run the sess ion we can create
a mapping variable $$IncludeDateTime In the source qualifier create a filter to
read only ro ws who se transaction date equals $$IncludeDateTime such as
TIMESTAMP = $$IncludeDateTime
In the mapping use a variable function to set the variable value to increment one
day each time the session runs If we set the initial value of $$IncludeDateTime to
812004 the first time the Integration Service runs the session it reads only rows
dated 812004 During the session the Integration Service sets
$$IncludeDateTime to 8 2200 4 It saves 8 2200 4 to the repos itory at the end o f
the session The next time it runs the session it reads only rows from August 2

Initial and Def ault Value
When we declare a m apping parameter or variable in a mapping or a mapplet we
can enter an initial value When the Integration Service needs an initial value and
we did not declare an initial value for the parameter or variable the Integration
Service uses a default value based on the data type of the parameter or variable
Data -gtDefault Value
Numeric -gt0
String -gtEmpty String
Date time -gt111
Variable Values Start value and current value of a mapping variable
Start Value
The start value is the value of the variable at the start of the session The
Integration Service looks for the start value in the following order
1 Value in param eter file
2 Value saved in the repos itory
3 Initial value
4 Default value
Current Value
The current value is the value of the variable as the s essio n progress es When a
session starts the current value of a variable is the same as the start value The
final current value for a variable is saved to the repository at the end of a
successful session When a session fails to complete the Integration Service
does not update the value of the variable in the repository

8102019 Mapping Parameters Variableshtm
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullmapping-parameters-variableshtm 412
Note If a variable function is not used to calculate the current value of a mapping
variable the start value of the variable is s aved to the repository
Variable Data type and Aggregation Type When we declare a mapp ing variable in a
mapping we need to configure the Data type and aggregation type for the variable
The IS uses the aggregate type of a Mapping variable to determine the final current
value of the mapping variable
Aggregatio n types are
Count Integer and small in teger data types are valid o nly
Max All transfo rmation data types except binary data type are valid
Min All transfo rmation data types except binary data type are valid
Variable Functio ns
Variable functions determine how the Integration Service calculates the current
value of a mapping variable in a pipeline
SetMaxVariable Sets the variable to the maximum value o f a group o f values It
igno res rows m arked for update delete or reject Aggregation type se t to Max
SetMinVariable Sets the variable to the minimum value of a group of values It
ignores rows marked for update delete or reject Aggregation type set to Min
SetCountVariable Increments the variable value by one It adds one to the
variable value when a ro w is m arked for ins ertion and s ubtracts o ne when the row
is Marked for deletion It ignores rows marked for update or reject Aggregation
type set to Co unt
SetVariable Sets the variable to the configured value At the end of a session it
compares the final current value of the variable to the start value of the variable
Based o n the aggregate type of the variable it saves a final value to the repos itory

PARAMETER FILE
A parameter file is a lis t o f parameters and asso ciated values for a
workflow worklet or s essio n
Parameter files provide flexibility to change these variables each time we
run a workflow o r sessio n
We can create multiple parameter files and change the file we use for a
session or workflow We can create a parameter file using a text editor
such as WordPad or No tepad
Enter the parameter file name and directory in the workflow or session
properties
A parameter file con tains the foll ow ing types o f param eters and variables
Workflow variable References values and records information in a
workflow
Worklet variable References values and records information in a worklet
Use predefined worklet variables in a parent workflow but we cannot use
workflow variables from the parent workflow in a worklet Session paramet er Defines a value that can change from session to
sessio n such as a database connection or file name
Mapping parameter and Mapping variable
USING A PARAMETER FILE
Parameter files contain several sections preceded by a heading The heading
identifies the Integration Service Integration Service process workflow worklet or
sessio n to which we want to assign parameters or variables
Make session and workflow
Give connection information for so urce and target table
Run workflow and see result

PARAMETER FILE
A parameter file is a lis t o f parameters and asso ciated values for a
workflow worklet or s essio n
Parameter files provide flexibility to change these variables each time we
run a workflow o r sessio n
We can create multiple parameter files and change the file we use for a
session or workflow We can create a parameter file using a text editor
such as WordPad or No tepad
Enter the parameter file name and directory in the workflow or session
properties
A parameter file con tains the foll ow ing types o f param eters and variables
Workflow variable References values and records information in a
workflow
Worklet variable References values and records information in a worklet
Use predefined worklet variables in a parent workflow but we cannot use
workflow variables from the parent workflow in a worklet Session paramet er Defines a value that can change from session to
sessio n such as a database connection or file name

Note If a variable function is not used to calculate the current value of a mapping
variable the start value of the variable is s aved to the repository
Variable Data type and Aggregation Type When we declare a mapp ing variable in a
mapping we need to configure the Data type and aggregation type for the variable
The IS uses the aggregate type of a Mapping variable to determine the final current
value of the mapping variable
Aggregatio n types are
Count Integer and small in teger data types are valid o nly
Max All transfo rmation data types except binary data type are valid
Min All transfo rmation data types except binary data type are valid
Variable Functio ns
Variable functions determine how the Integration Service calculates the current
value of a mapping variable in a pipeline
SetMaxVariable Sets the variable to the maximum value o f a group o f values It
igno res rows m arked for update delete or reject Aggregation type se t to Max
SetMinVariable Sets the variable to the minimum value of a group of values It
ignores rows marked for update delete or reject Aggregation type set to Min
SetCountVariable Increments the variable value by one It adds one to the
variable value when a ro w is m arked for ins ertion and s ubtracts o ne when the row
is Marked for deletion It ignores rows marked for update or reject Aggregation
type set to Co unt
SetVariable Sets the variable to the configured value At the end of a session it
compares the final current value of the variable to the start value of the variable
Based o n the aggregate type of the variable it saves a final value to the repos itory
Creat ing Mapping Paramet ers and Variables
